THE BIG SLUGGERS.
Echoes From the Kilrain-Smith
Fight-Sullivan's Defiance.

Fight-Sullivan's Defiance.
| Copyright Gable to the Globe.
LONDON, Dec. 20.-It is tonight gen.
orally conceded in sporting circles that
Jake Kilrain won the fight yesterday
with Smith, and that the American is
the better man. 1t is looked upon also
in the light of a moral victory as prize
fights go. They are brutal affairs at
best, but yesterdays fight seemed to
demonstrate the fact that such cOmbats
could be more closely confined to the
realms of science than is usually the case
The Kirain-Smith affair was perhaps
the best and most gentlemanly con-
Quoted fight of modern times. All sec
tiOns of English society unite in ap-
plauding the American champion for
his prowess, science and his gentle
manly bearing. The Marquis of
Queensberry offers gold medal for a
glove contest of eight rounds between
Kilrain and Smith Kirain and his
party left for Paris at IL o'clock to-
night. The Sportsman says the con-
test between Smith and Kilrain was
more of wrestling match than prize
fight.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 20.-The Domina-

reputable business man and gentleman.
The confirmation ought not to he ques-
toned. st. Paul is my home, and L

the nomination comes from the commit
tee" Senator Sawyer, who is chairman
of the committee on poStOtficeS and post
roads, said: ''Senator Davis is resident
of st. Paul and gets his mail there.
His will and wish will be first consid-
cred. No man Objectionable to him
would be confirmed even if the senate
were Democratic. Any man who re-
ceives his support will be likely to be
confirmed" Congressman Rice was on
the floor of the senate today, and after
wards said: Il was not Oh the senate
floor in the interest of MIR. Lee, but to
see Senator Davis on other matters. 1t
is useless to discuss the matter of the

is no doubt about it."
SENATOR DAVIS
introduced bills to-day. for pensions to
the widows of Gen. John A. Logan and
Gen. Frank p. Blair, each to receive
$1,000 per annum. Senator Davis says:
"Fhese pensions ought to have been
granted long ago. Blair and Logan were
both gallant soldiers. The widows of
the regular army officers are pensioned
without question. The republic is intact
to-day because of its volunteer sOldiery.
Every veteran in the land wants the
widows of Blair and Logan pensioned.
Thousands of brave boys who
sleep the last sleep would shout their
cheers from their coffins to hear that
these bills have passed and been APP
proved by the president" 1t is said that
Senator Berry objected merely in order
to have opportunity to make a three
minute speech tomorrow, Objecting to
larger pensions for widows of generals
than OF private soldiers, that is his
hobby. Both bills will pass tomorrow.

to-day wrote to MeSSrS. Paddock and
Manderson, the Nebraska members of
the United States senate: Dear SirS:
As a citizen of the United States and as
4 Republican, L respectfully but most
earnestly protest against the cOnfrma-
tion of l.. q. {. Lamar as justice of
the supreme court of the United States.
He was bold and defiant advocate of
the dissolution of the Union in 1850 and
1861. He was at heart and in principle
Just as much traitor as JEFF Davis. He
has never recanted his reasonable SEN
timents. A man with such record
should never be placed upon the bench
of the supreme court of the United
States by the votes of Republican sen-
ators. He is not a fit person to inter-
pret the constitution of the United
States. Very truly yours.

DES MONIES, To-, Dec. 20.-Goy. Lar
rabee started for Anamosa to-day. where
he has been subp9naed to appear before
the Jones county grand jury concerning
their investigation of the alleged crock
edness in cX-Warden Martins manage
ment of the penitentiary. Martin has
been nearly two years out of office, and
as an Indictment only covers uifenseS
committed during the preceding three
years, a criminal prosecution will not
develOpe or punish any miSdcmeanOrS
occurring during the first seven of Mar

state can protect Itself 10y civil action
against his bondsmen il the revelations
of an investigation justify such action.
The grand jury has beer in session over
two weeks, and have done little besides
investigate the prison scandal. They
touch only upon matters ia ";ilich tie
state is interested, and have, as they
think, obtained
AMPLE EVIDENCE
to justify all Indictment. The most
damaging evidence has come from eX-
Deputy Warden Hickox. 1t seems that
Martin was in the habit of delivering
prison supplies to the various employees
under him, and kept record thereof in
a little book. At the end of each month
the amount received was footed up and
deducted from the months pay. The
full wages of all employees was drawn
from the state. and Martin seems TO
have pocketed all amount equal TO the
supplies furnished to- each employe, as
no record can be found where the same
has been turned back into the state
treasury. This practice obtained for

tinued until the rapidly-falling temper

with heavy SHOWS for so long that they
were not prepared for the blizzard The
Gulf trains were six hours late, while
none of tO-day's Southern Kansas trains
have arrived. Snow in Colorado has pre-
vented this mornings Union Pacific train
from Denver from arriving. The SHOW
plOws of that road are already at work
and they hope to be all right in few
days. The outward bound-trains on the
Burlington IL Missouri railroad We're
abandoned, and nearly all the outgoing
trains were delayed from twenty min

gram tonight from Genda Springs,
Kan, near the Indian Territory, says
that the blizzard there has completely
stopped railroad traffic. The snow is
not general in this vicinity, but from
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Mis-
souri, come reports Of heavy winds and
